NEW EPISODE: Episode 12: It’s one of most well-known and beautiful space pictures ever. It’s the Pillars of Creation within the Eagle Nebula, or M16. This famous photo was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, but few know that this image was a comeback of sorts for Hubble.

When Hubble was first launched, it sent back blurry photos due to an optical error in the lens. So, plans were devised and set into motion to try and tune Hubble up. How could they fix the problem with Hubble already up in space?

This is not only the story of the Hubble Space Telescopes triumphant return from its blurry beginnings and how the issues were fixed, but the story of how this image—located some 7000 light-years away—was captured via methods you may not know about.

This is the twelfth episode in a series of episodes that’ll drop every Saturday throughout 2024. Visit the full video here:

The Eagle Nebula - M16 Home to the Pillars of Creation, the Eagle Nebula, thanks to Hubble, is an iconic target in astrophotography. Also known as the Star Queen Nebula, it is located in the constellation Serpens and was discovered in the mid 1700s. . It is fitting that this post fell on July 4th, celebrated as Independence Day in the United States. The Bald Eagle is the national bird. This target is about the lowest I can shoot to the south with the houses and light pollution in that direction. I first shot thus target with the Raptor 61, giving me a wide field shot which also included the Omega Nebula. For this shot, I went to my old faithful, the Meade 80mm. Processed as a simulated SHO, I like how it came out. The HOO process I also did, bit not included here, gives a little more definition on the Pillars. . @meadeinstruments @canonusa . 24 x 300s Dark, flat, dark flat and bias frames used 800 ISO - Bortle 8 .

Flame and horse head nebula. Not the best conditions, but I still like this stack. 52 subs at 45 seconds. 300mm. Lost about another 50 images to fog and light pollution / skyglow. I’ll do better once I gather more data with another 100 or so subs.

The soaring pillar is 9.5 light-years, or about 57 trillion miles, high, about twice the distance from our Sun to the nearest star. Stars in the Eagle Nebula are born in clouds of cold hydrogen that reside in chaotic neighborhoods, where energy from young stars sculpts fantasy-like landscapes in the gas. The tower may be a giant incubator for those newborn stars. A torrent of ultraviolet light from a band of massive, hot, young stars (off the top of the image) is eroding the pillar.
